You're the only friend I need (you're the only friend I need) I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em. Moved 'round our heads (moved 'round our heads) How all the thoughts (how all the thoughts) We're reeling through the midnight streets "Ribs" peaked at numbers 36 and 92 on the Australian and UK streaming charts respectively, and also reached number twenty-nine on the New Zealand singles chart. The single also charted on the United States Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart. Mike Wass of Idolator praised the song's "vulnerability" and called it an "obtuse offering". Lindsay Zoladz of Pitchfork Media opined that "Ribs" was the best song Lorde had written so far, particularly lyrically. In "Ribs", she references the Broken Social Scene song "Lover's Spit". "Ribs" is a deep house influenced electronica and electropop song which starts ambiently and, according to Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, features an "exhausted-sounding Lorde growing more frantic with each passing second", with lyrics that include the singer discovering her maturity and "grown-up problems". Lorde stated the song was inspired by ageing, which she described as "a big stress" of hers, and "this big party I had when my parents went away". "Ribs" was written on the day of the January 2013 Auckland Laneway Festival. On 30 September 2013, "Ribs" was issued as a free promotional single via iTunes Stores. It was recorded at Little's Golden Age Studios in Auckland. "Ribs" was written by Lorde (credited under her birth-name Ella Yelich-O'Connor) and Joel Little, with production, engineering, instrumentation and mixing handled by Little.
